Ara Taiohi

Kia ora! I am an experienced Supervisor and Registered Social Worker in private practice. I am based in Tauranga Moana where I live with my husband and our collection of pets (kunekune pigs and a kuri). We have two adult sons who come home from Wellington when they need a kai or a rest from city life. I have many years practise experience in health (most recently in palliative care) as well as with tamariki, rangatahi and whānau. I have also done a lot of mahi as an Educator. My supervision practice covers professional supervision for a range of professions and cultural supervision: kanohi ki te kanohi, online, individual and group. I am passionate about maximising mātauranga Māori in practice and utilising Māori practice models. I enjoy providing a safe space for practitioners and managers to reflect, grow and share their mahi. So, if this sounds like the space for you, kōrero mai! https://www.leisamoorhouse.nz/
